'Bastardo' is a wonderful, wonderful slice of sugary sweet pop rock. The subject matter is however not quite as sweet but you would never have guessed it.

It's probably about a guy called Antonio who shagged her and then pissed off at 4am but it could be about how her beloved guitar got nicked. Which could also be called Antonio. Erm, like, whatever!

More importantly than the crap lyrics are the massive Velcro hooks attaching tiny little melodies to you and it is good! You will sing it and jiggle in your chair!

Charlotte Hatherley - Bastardo

This woman's stuff gets on my tits. She seems to pioneer herself as some saviour of modern rock, pulling influences from her golden eras of childhood. Except she just sounds like some standard mid-90's indie rock act.

Funnily enough, she said herself the story told by the song is purely fictional. Lame.

The video is gorgeous, but a stupidly huge PR stunt.

That's the effect Charlotte has on people. Her guitar wielding, pouting, sexiness reduces grown men - and Raz - to incoherent, lusting teenagers.
Not me tho' - I prefer Sarah Cracknell. Still.

Tis a beautiful, catchy song, the way pop music should be. still not as good as her last one, summer. i think based on these 2 releases she has surpassed Ash's entire output in terms of quality already. not hard really though, eh?

Yawn.....couldn't she hace been more imaginative or was she just trying to be shall we say avant garde with that stupid cliche name?
